the season. having completed its work
and made a splendid record for the year
1881. Altogether the mill has turned out
this season million and half feet of
lumber, for which ready sale has been
found, and practically no stock will be
carried over to next season. Mr.. Myers
has now 100000 feet of timber banked
ON the Missouri for next seasons work,
and today crew of men left for the
mountains TO get out more, the proposi
ton being TO saw between two and three
million feet next year. Mr.. Myers has
handled this business in good shape and
there are few, if any, firms in Great Falls
that have made more money the past
year than the company he represents.
Mr.. Myers starts for Minneapolis to-
morrow and will remain east until about
the Goth of December. During his stay
he will purchase q 50-horse power engine
and other machinery for the mill, as it IL
the intention to-greatly increase its capac-
ity. The Tribune,with many other friends,
is glad to note the success of the import
ant enterprise with which he is connected.

Painting the Buggy.

To do this at home Benjamin Hammond
tells readers of the Prairie Farmer to buy
a pound box of coach black ground in ia
pan. Put two ounces of boiled linseed oil
TO little less than pint of turpentine
and then take out of your can of coach
black about one-third of its contents into
a clean vessel of some sort Thin it down
with the mixed turpentine and oil to Il
thick creamy consistency. After you have
washed off and rubbed down your buggy
with fine salt or pumice stone, get off al
the dust aEd be sure its dry. Apply the
black with flat chisel-pointed varnish
brush. The number of coats will depend
on how good Il job you want. Finish with
coat of "oue.coat coach varnisn' about a
pint-which is or should be heavy strong
varnish adapted for this work. After the
buggy is done keep it when not in use out
Bf the stable, where the ammonia can't de-
stroy your work.

Improved Nerino Sheen.

Since 1860 the average fleece of Ameri-
can sheep has been doubled in weight.
This is mainly due to crossing with the
improved merino as grown by Vermont
and western New York breeders It is
time now to select the rams for breeding
next years lambs. The sheep owner who
intends to raise his lambs and improve
their wool bearing qualities will make no
mistake in getting the best merino ram
that can be obtained With flock of
eighty ewes or more the increased value
of each lamb as wool bearer will pay
good interest ON the price of thorough
bred ram. But if the lambs are to be sold
to the butcher, males of the down or NUT
ton breeds are preferable, though the me
rino is not 30 inferior for mutton as it is
often supposed to be.--American Cults-

DESPERATE BY WHISKY 7.
A Convicted Burglar Attempts Sui
eide in the Jail of Silver
Bow County.

BUTTE, November 15.-Louis Herman
son, who was sentenced Saturday night
to two years in the penitentiary for burg
larry, was to have been taken to Deer
Lodge the next day. When sheriff Lloyd
went to his cell he found blood running
ont from under the door. Hastily unlock
ing the cell he found Hermanson on the
floor covered with blood from head to
foot Near him lay pocket knife, one
blade open, dyed with blood. An exam
ination showed that he had opened an ar
terry in the righ. wrist with the knife. A
prisoner in another cell had heard the
trickling Of the blood but supposed it was
raining, and had gone to sleep again. Dr.
Bishop stopped the flow of blood and. al
though Hermanson was very weak, it is
thought his recovery is possible.
Sheriff Lloyd believes the attempted su-
icide is due to the fact that the prisoners
friend, Charles Berg, yesterday visited
him and secretly gave him pint of whis-
key, pouring it through the bars into a tin
cup. Berg has been arrested. Under
Hermanson's bunk was found a note to
Berg as follows:
These are the last words from me on
earth; so ask you and all my friends for
giveness for all the wrong | have done. /

money from Thomas McWilliams and |

LAMAR AGAINST SPARKS.
The Secretary of the Interior Says
He or Sparks Must Step Down and
Out-A Bitter Controversy.

WASHINGTON, November f2-Secretarl
Lamar has sent a letter to commissioner
Sparks, sharply replying to the communi
cation from the latter relative to the ad
justment OF the Chicago, Saint Paul, Min
neapolis & Omaha railroad land grants
He concludes by informing Sparks tha,
either one of them must forthwith retire
from the department. The case in point
is one wherein Sparks decided the Omaha
road had forfeited a large amount of their
granted land. Shortly afterwards secre.
tary Lamar reviewed Mr.. Sparks decision
and reversed it, restoring the lands to the
railroad company. Sparks wrote long
letter to the secretary protesting against
the reversal. The secretary in his reply
says:
am fortunately able to answer it con-
cisely and rapidly because every point
submitted by Sparks has been the subject
of reconsideration, having been presented
in the columns Of the press whose enter
prise put them in the possession of these
points before | was apprised that the de-
cission referred to in your letter had in

length to consider the points of his

carefully matured instructions. In no
other way can the functions of great

ed than for the chief to command and the
subordinates to obey.
After further considering the various
points raised by the commissioner, Mr..
Lamar says:
had conceived it my duty, as the head
of this department, TO direct you as TO
what duties | require you to perform. |
had, also, conceived it to he your duty,
under the same obligation, to obey my in
structions. or withdraw yourself from the
duty of so doing. This is the only way

study, to surrender them to you Under
